Alpha Psi Omega to present ‘Talk Radio’

December 7, 2013

Alpha Psi Omega, the National Theater Honor Society at West Virginia Wesleyan College, will present "Talk Radio" at 7 p.m. today in the English Annex Theater. Tickets are $3.

"Talk Radio," written by Eric Bogosian and created for the stage by Bogosian and Tad Savinar, features Barry Champlain, Cleveland's controversial radio host, as he is on the air doing what he does best - insulting the pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off.

Barry's show is going into national syndication and his producer is afraid Barry will say something that will offend the sponsors. This, of course, makes Barry even more audacious.

Champlain is played by Chad Clem, and Tennielle Garton plays Linda, Champlain's love interest. The production is directed by Jessica Tichenor, a member of Alpha Psi Omega.

"Talk Radio" is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. Video and audio recording of the performance by any means are strictly

prohibited.

This presentation is for mature audiences only.
